week 5, wednesday

[ninjay]

[ this is honest to god the worst week, of all time, of anything ever, so when chie approaches jay to talk privately, the kill bill sirens are ringing pretty heavily in his head and he doesn't even know what a movie is.

they'll go to chie's room since it's empty. ]

Yes, Chie?

I was actually innocent last week, you know. I had no idea about any of those murders until you guys did.

[ HIS SALT??? WAS REAL????? god. ]

There's really no point in lying anymore though.

[wristbands]

That's what I meant... I knew it couldn't have been you.

I want to keep trusting you.

[ninjay]

It's okay if you don't. No one else does anymore.

[ his voice is quiet. ]

There is a very high chance that I'm not going to leave past this weekend. If that happens, watch out for the twins, okay? They're... if I'm honest, no one from my group is probably going to kill them, so if anything happens to them, it'd be a third party.

1/2

[wristbands]

They'll have to go through me to get to them, then.

[there's briefly a fire in her eyes as she grits her teeth, her remaining hand balling up into a fist. it lasts for only a few seconds, before she calms back down, her voice softening.]

...You guys better be right about this deal.

[wristbands]

[and as the last bit exits her mouth, she stops suddenly. her eyes slowly widen as she finishes her thought.]

Wait... if the last person is the one who takes Craftly's job, what happens to the other two at the end? And—if you guys make it, does that mean you're willing to stay here, for all of our sake?

[ninjay]

They should go home with the rest. Only the person who takes the deal stays. [ ah, wait. ] Or whoever kills Craftly. If you kill the Innkeeper you replace the Innkeeper, but someone still has to take the deal in that case.

[ at chie's last question though, he nods. ]

We wouldn't be doing this if none of us were going to take the deal, Chie. We're committed.

[wristbands]

...See, I can't even be mad at that.

[it's such a noble cause, even if it was accomplished through underhanded means. she sighs.]

Good thing no one listened to Mira when she made her big speech, right?

[ninjay]

She was lying through it. She had no idea what would happen if you killed him, we all only found out afterwards.

[ so yeah, good job not falling for her joke. ]

[wristbands]

Good to know.

...I'll see you after whatever happens on Friday or Saturday, then. [she rises from her seat on the bed to open the door. with her back turned to him, she just mutters,] ...Thanks.

[ninjay]

[ he will just nod his head and then quietly leave. ]
